Set in scenic British Columbia’s fertile Fraser Valley, this sprawling nine-acre working estate is accessed via a private, winding, stone-lined road leading through 4 1/2 acres of lush vineyards to a circular court and a classically styled, 6,000-square-foot, five-bedroom, five-bath residence.

The residence has many remarkable features, including a Renaissance-style mural adorning the ceiling of the entryway, vaulted ceilings in the living room and dining room, gleaming marble and wood flooring, and exquisite custom millwork throughout. The generously sized kitchen with restaurant-grade stainless-steel appliances is a chef’s delight, equipped with an island with a gas stove and expansive granite countertops for meal preparation, as well as under-counter storage and an overhang with barstools for casual dining. Centrally located at the foot of the stairs leading to the bedrooms, it serves as a natural gathering point in the home.

The property’s vineyard and winery are well known for unique varietals of Petite Milo and Cabernet Foch, which thrive in this region. The winery features a cavernous tasting room ideal for large gatherings, a most unique brick and copper-spired “chapel” tasting room, and an outside tasting area with a view of the equestrian riding ring to one side and the vineyards to its rear. Horse lovers will be thrilled by the riding ring, 13-stall stables, and arena. The property also features an indoor ice rink.
